Anyone surpised that he isn't playing for team Canada right now at the world juniors.

[AustinDuck27 13,899]

I am. The kid is a scoring machine and somehow gets cut like that... 

Either the CAN team is really stacked, or Sam's numbers are a reflection of playing on a ridiculously good WHL team which may be overshadowing some shortcomings in his game. After Etem, I'm wary of getting too hyped over strong WHL scoring numbers.

That said, he's lighting that league on fire, I hope he's using this WJ cut as motivation.

Worked out for our boy Terry!

Seriously though, Steel is on a ramage. 

I had a comment about Canada and Matthews but I forgot it thanks to the boards being stupid and erased it. But seriously TO, giving sass to a Southwestern born kid for being happy his former WJC team won? I guess I can't root for anyone playing for Finland, Sweden, Canada or Czech money on the team anymore.

[DUCKSDOC 1,212]

ANYBODY seen him in person - does he looks as great as his numbers would suggest - think he might get called up this year ???

I don't think he can be called up from the Juniors. Or rather, his season in the Juniors has to end first. Then they usually get a few games in the end of AHL season to see how they can handle playing against bigger, faster, tougher opponents. 

To add (if I'm not mistaken), players still in Juniors can play 10 games to start a season with the NHL but must either be sent back to the Juniors for the remainder of the season or stay up with the NHL with no return to the Juniors (ala the Fowler route).

I don't think your last sentence is true.  I think the 10 game rule has to do with burning a season on the player's entry level contract, i.e. you could send the player back to juniors after 10 games, but the player is essentially going to be treated as if he'd played a whole season in the NHL, so you might as well keep him with the big club.

I could be wrong on that, but I think players have been sent back to juniors after 10 games (maybe this happened to Sbisa?), they just lose a season on their ELC.

I'm planning on going to see him in person in a couple of weeks when his team plays in Edmonton. I'll post something about how he looks after the game.

You are correct... the 10 NHL games are related to the CBA and have nothing to do with the CHL (Canadian Hockey League, the organization beneath which stand the OHL, the WHL, and the QMJHL) .

The issue is the CHL -NHL agreement, and it exists so that the CHL can keep young talent. Players drafted and playing in the CHL are ineligible to play in the professional minor leagues (AHL, ECHL) until they are 20 YO or have completed 4 seasons in major juniors.

The problem is if Sam Steel comes all the way up to the Ducks, they don't have the option to move him up and down from AHL San Diego. It's all the way back to the CHL. Why is this a problem? Because if he's that close to being NHL ready he's most certainly AHL ready... and teams have development coaches at the AHL that can work with said players. Having the ability to play your prized prospects in the AHL while they get coaching from your top coaching personnel is something that most organizations would want.

Heh, man of Steel, I like that , Moose. Hopefully he's a little bit like Cogs in that way. Unlike Max Jones who seems to be constantly injured.

[Jipperdoodles 46]

He's doing something that hasn't been done in like 20 years.
